You are entitled to your opinion but it is a lonely one.
I agree with him too. Same reason I wouldn’t want Brian Kelly as coach of Tech. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I suspect everyone could post a list with multiple no thank yous on it. Mine has a number of guys that fall below the 'don't be a schmuck in life' line. I'm happy not to see any of them at Tech.
Heisman was kind of an ******* too. Glad he's not around still...
The dude got a player killed at UCF

This is exactly where I am at the moment. I hope and pray to Dodd that all I want is Key in drunken joy sometime around 4pm Saturday.
I didn’t say all of the money people, a lot of them want key to be the next HC. Specifically, Texeria wants Key but he pulled himself out of the HC search about 2-4 weeks ago.
I will give you that and it is an admirable, though seldom seen character trait in these troubled times.
If they truly LOVE Tech, they will stay out of this. They pushed for Geoff and complained continuously about Coach Johnson. It is true that they are not anywhere close to being the ego maniacs at many programs, say Auburn or Texas A&M for which any future Tech AD and coach should be thankful.
Well, to a certain extent, I suppose he did not give people a whole lot of warm, fuzzy feelings. I recall a game on TV that was against NC State or Carolina that was going back and forth in typical Joe Ham fashion and Tech had taken the lead but the other team came down in about 3 plays and tied it up on a long pass play with no one within 10 yards of the receiver. Busted coverage obviously. Anyway, the safety is coming to the sidelines getting an earful from Coach O'Leary and goes to the phone table is talking to the assistant up in the booth. O'Leary, never one to worry about perceptions, yanks the phone out of the player's hand and proceeds to yell at the assistant. An equal opportunity abuser it would seem. He did beat UGA three years in a row so there is that.
That guy gives off bad vibes but he would never come to Tech and I doubt Tech people would tolerate him.
He was extremely demanding and could be a jerk to reporters, players, assistants and other small fry including it would seem his wife. Newspapers of the time for some reason, found him irresistible. All over the country photos were published showing him holding a small megaphone and calling out to his players when they would shift formations: "Hop lads, hop, you must learn to hop like a chickadee." Charming.
You’re exactly right. Brent wants whatever is best for Georgia Tech.
Imagine a football coach that places the welfare of the players and the Institute above himself. Alexander and Dodd would approve.
